What reviewers say
“Hot damn! Let me first say that Pares Balta is ALWAYS on point. Their wines are absolutely incredible. I visited them on a recent trip to Spain and cannot rave about their wines enough. The family has been doing this a long time and knows what they are doing. The Blanc de Pacs is one of their more affordable wines but still shows nicely. Shale and seashell on the nose. Insanely gorgeous minerality, and a nice tight finish. Seriously, find Pares Balta wines and drink all of them!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has yellow lemon color with light green tints. On the nose intense aroma of pear and apple. In the mouth it is fresh and with a good acidity. Resulting in a soft wine, leaving an intense sensation of fruits and freshness on the finish.

715 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 735 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 276 other whites from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 715.
